    The sculpture trail, a high-altitude trail with no steep inclines, is around 2.5 km long. The ten sculptures make it very varied. The views of the rocks upwards, the views of the valley and the many benches make it an experience. Especially nice with small children.

      The storytelling ball by the artist Peter Schwenk, which tells the story of Kirchehrenbach, is now staying in Kirchehrenbach thanks to the Kirchehrenbach friends of the homeland. As Mayor Anja Gebhardt (SPD) informed during the most recent municipal council meeting, the local history association has now acquired the Erählkugel for 12,000 euros and has applied for the work of art to remain at the previous location of the sculpture path as the first work of art at the foot of the Walberlas after the two-year period has expired. There is a subsidy of 9,000 euros from the regional budget. On this municipal property, the association wants to create a place of rest and reflection with a bench next to the storytelling ball. The Heimatfreunde want to invest a further 2,000 euros from their club treasury for this.
